This would require the ability to set clearance rules on a per net
base. Such differentiation would be desirable for general DRC, too.

Ok, sounds good.

Automatically? That would be neat.

This seems like a solution to many issues.
If your toporouter can do the above, it becomes a very viable option
for real life projects. Count me in for testing!
